The Air Force Involvement in Drug Interdiction - An Analysis

Abstract

This document attempts to provide insights to enable the Air Force to better meet its anticipated additional Congressional tasking to support the Nation's war on drugs. This study pinpoints fundamental deficiencies in the present drug interdiction campaign (using the example of the South Florida Task Force) that impact the effectiveness and efficiency of Air Force units tasked to support these operations. Finally, this report offers solutions to the most serious problems that currently confront the conduct of the nation's drug war.
